And of course, anybody who doesn't applaud frenetically (mind you: not "who opposes"; merely "not enthusiastic enough") is lumped with the Enemy. Ad hominems mean "I have run out of arguments, now on to insults." Also, can I borrow your crystal ball, if you know that this technology will prevail? I hope you haven't been predicting Betamax with that one... As for "standards that can be enforced" - yes, that's where the industry is headed, but we haven't seen a Therac-class disaster in our generation yet. We'll get there...in both cases.
